Anybody here got one?  What do you think about it?  Mechanical problems?

Dont know much about them but Yamaha is bringing back the Zuma in 2008 and I have an 02 and talk about a blast to ride!!

My wife bought one to commute. So far so good.

I just bought a couple Zuma's a couple months ago.  Absolute blast to ride.  I look like a big geek but don't care.  Super fun and easy.

I assume in 2008 the Zuma will be 4 stroke, which is all can be sold in the U.S. anymore I believe.  I had to go to Canada to find a dealer that had them leftover from 2006 (the last year they were sold there).  Paid more but can't get them anymore.....he can name his price.

I looked at the c3 but the Zuma seemed to have better suspension, bigger tires, and a two person seat.  Rode the Honda Metro 4 stroke and it was a dog compared to the 2 stroke zuma.  Will be interesting to see what Yamaha can do for 2008.

Its still an 2 stroke but with more Smog crap to remove.

Then I just got screwed.  I didn't think you'd be able to get them anymore and my dad loved the thing.  I bought two, one for him for Fathers Day and one for me because I thought I'd never be able to get them in the future.

Turns out he rides the heck out of it (he's 76), and I ride it like 3 times a week.  So simple and fun.

I had to pay $2200 (delivered to my door from Canada) plus tax (each).  That's a discount because I bought too.  The USA msrp price was $1849.  The Canada msrp price was $2849.  Oh well, he's outside riding around rather sitting inside in his chair like he normally would be doing.

I was thinking they need to make a C4-  if a 50cc scooter can have a 9 gallon under seat storage, then a 250 [sort of big ruckus sized scooter] should have 2 or 3 times that.  Enough to bring home ALL the grocerys.

actually i would be happy with a c3 if only i weighed 70 lbs less..

when you have $3k to spend there isn't much out there but the vino 125.
scooters are either at $2k or $5k +.  

and if I'm going to spend $3k, i might as well bump it up a few $ more  to the TW200 and have some dirt fun too.

no I don't have a C3, but if they put a sign on one saying $1600 otd, I'd have one.
